I have seen some posts lately asking for definitions.
Here's a term that is thrown around often.
What is a dog man?

I don't know that I have ever met or known one.
Seriously,
Would you say that someone who has a knack for picking out mates, and producing pups is a dog man? Or would it be someone that gets the most out of a given dog?

Whew Wee, Good Topic Chris! I will definately be inclined to see the definitions of this one, and which ones come out of "Copy and pastd post" or which ones have true answer.

No "dogman" like yourself would let a "mandog" do that to his hogdogs....

Dog Man.........I would say its a man that spent a good portion of his life working and/or hunting with dogs, breeding and raising working dogs that excell above most at what they do. NOTICE I did not say selling dogs. Not only that......he's got a nack with dogs in general and understands them, and he has a special nack with the type of dogs he deals with and an extensive knowledge of those kind of dogs. He can recognize good things about a dog and is aware of the fact that great dogs are rare, he can also recognize the downsides of a dog and is honest with others and more importantly himself about those downsides. He can get the best out of a dog. He has a love for dogs but does not get attached to any one particular dog or show favoritism toward particular dogs and does not get clouded judgement about a favorite dog.
There are very few men that I would consider true dog men. Most of the time, in my opinion, they were raised with dogs. Not just a few pets over the years but working dogs and more than the average person is normally exposed to. As we all know the mind of a child is better equiped for learning and less clouded with biase and preconcieved beleifs than that of an adult.

Well spoken, Waylon and I agree 100%.
I will also add that sometimes experience, or the "I've been at this umpteen years" mentality does NOT always make one prolific. Regardless, some people either "have it" or they don't.
One other thing I've noticed, is that the few true "dogmen" that I've met along the way were not so because of what they said, but more because of what they did.

To add to Waylon's post I think that if you asked one of those men, "are you a dogman?" they would say no and then ask you what that was. Meaning they don't really give a crap about the "name"....
